I am new to riding and am interested in cross country races. How long are the races ussually. Does anybody know of some places in Florida where they hold some races. i have a 400ex stock and really like it, I am assuming there needs to be upgrades to the susp. engine & exhaust to really compete. Any info would be great. I am looking to get some new tires for now, not neccesarilly for racing but something of a all around tire. I was impressed with the ITP holeshots. Anybody run those? Thanks for the help, I'm sure you guys get sick of the newbies on here with the same questions but I gotta get some info somewhere, Thanks.
